    Summary

    “I don’t call you kid because I think you’re stupid. I don’t think you’re stupid. You’d know if I thought you were stupid, because I would tell you. ‘Kid’ is a…” He trails off, free hand tapping thoughtful rhythms on the steering wheel, “…Nickname. Term of endearment. Whatever you want to call it, but it’s not derogatory.”

    Jack holds up a second finger.

    “You have not been taking care of yourself. If you were, you wouldn’t have a low grade fever, and you would’ve called me as your boss or one of your friends to drive you instead of walking to work in the rain after your car died. You’ve been surviving. There’s a difference.”

    or:

    good things happen to those who are found crying in the supply closet by their hot, older, maybe flirty boss-slash-mentor.

    Summary

    “We can’t be friends,” Rhaenyra says, voice suddenly forlorn. “Because now I’ve asked to sleep with you. You can’t be friends with people you want to sleep with. It’s too late for us. We’re through.”

    Alicent sighs, a weary silence falling over the car. “It’s a real shame. You were the only person I knew in New York.”

    Or, a rhaenicent When Harry Met Sally au.

    Summary

    Regulus has it all figured out. He keeps men on a rotating roster so none can get too close, works nights as a dancer to make the most of his chronic insomnia, and pushes everything he doesn’t want to remember about the past ten years into the recesses of his mind. It’s easier to pretend none of it ever happened.

    But when James Potter crashes into Regulus’ life with his fancy sports car, wealth beyond measure, and devil’s smile, it marks a switch in the natural order of things. James is a client; Regulus isn’t allowed to fall in love with him. Except James is the first man in a long time who can see past Regulus’ carefully constructed façade, and who could ever resist the temptation of being known?

    Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take.

    Summary

    "Regulus knows he is young looking. And well, it is problematic in his field of work. Because people mistake him for an intern all the time. People like James Potter. Two years his senior and a goddamn idiot. Spreads sunshine like a disease. Works with kids. Has pockets full of lollipops that he gives away— way too easily. Has a pink surgical hat with little stags on it. Wears a smile like it's a virus, infecting others.

    It’s ridiculous. They’re supposed to be fighting illness, not spreading joy around."
